How does a prism work?
They refract light as the light enters through one side of the prism, at a certain angle, the glass that the prism is made of, decreases the speed of light. And so it bends. Then it hits the other face and emerges out, and that is when the dispersion happens and the white light splits into the spectrum of seven colours
What is the difference between Dispersion and Skewness?
distinguish between dispersion and skewness
What is dispersion and various measures of dispersion?
Dispersion is the act of spreading people or things (like seeds) out over a large area. Measures of dispersion tell us the degree of variation of values in a sample or population.

What is splitting of light into component colours by a prism?
Its is known as dispersion of light.
The splitting of white light into colors as it passes through a triangular prism?
Dispersion
What is the instrument used to break white light into a rainbow?
I believe that you are talking about a prism, and the process where the light is broken up in to its constituent parts is called dispersion
Why does a ray of light passing through a glass slab not show dispersion?
Actually a glass slab is made up of two triangular prisms placed inverted to one another. So dispersion taking place by the first prism is counter acted by the inverted prism and hence no dispersion is seen on a whole
What is the action of the prism that breaks a light ray into many different colors?
Refraction.More:This is known as Dispersion. See the link below to read about dispersion at Wikipedia.
How is white light is made of colors?
By Dispersion Of light (We call the phenomenon of spiliting of white light into 7 colours as dispersion of light.).......... You Can use Prism.....
